Cool Blue was a radio station in Auckland New Zealand, operated by The Radio Network broadcasting on 96.1 FM between 2001 and 2004. Unlike other radio stations operated by The Radio Network, Cool Blue was only available in the Auckland region and not networked to other regions. Due to low ratings The Radio Network stopped operation of Cool Blue and used the frequency to start Flava. Weeks after Cool Blue went off the air on FM, Cool Blue came back online; now independently operated and as a non-commercial non-profit station.
Cool Blue plays mainly Jazz and Blues music but is not confined to these two formats, the playlist also includes elements of R&B, Rock and Roll, Folk music.
Famous quotes containing the words cool and/or blue:
“I heard the hissing rustle of the liquid and sands as directed to
me whispering to congratulate me,
For the one I love most lay sleeping by me under the same cover in the cool night,
In the stillness in the autumn moonbeams his face was inclined
toward me,
And his arm lay lightly around my breast—and that night I
was happy.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“Notice how he has numbered the blue veins
in my breast. Moreover there are ten freckles.
Now he goes left. Now he goes right.
He is building a city, a city of flesh.
He’s an industrialist.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
